Yes it is and your anecdotes don't mean much. You are saying the winters are less severe. The growing season is longer and it is generally more habitable.
>people living through catastrophes which most likely would have been less severe if not for climate change.
Disentangle some emotion from the facts. People are dying less than ever before due to catastrophes. People that die from natural disaster today, largely have encroached on land that was always disaster prone and built massive infrastructure. The cost of natural disasters today is a direct result of populating and constructing in areas that are prone to tornadoes, tsunamis, earthquakes, fire and flooding. It is almost completely preventable.
>you spread climate change denial
False. This is a blatant lie as my comment states clearly, I believe the climate is changing. We are exiting an ice age.
The solutions promoted by people like yourself, are going to cause greater harm than good because you choose to believe the climate should not change! Yes, you who choose to make foolish argument and use phrases like "climate change denial". Yes, you are in denial that the climate is allowed to change.

No, sorry it is you and your internal strife with change that is the problem. Petition the government to change the ways companies and militaries pollute the environment. Leave the rest of us alone with your carbon tax bullshit that we must pay for.
>>> The state of climate will not have a direct effect on your life, the span of years you are alive. Not to a significant degree.
>> I describe the direct effect the state of climate is having on my life
> Yes it is and your anecdotes don't mean much.
What?
> The cost of natural disasters today is a direct result of populating and constructing in areas that are prone to tornadoes, tsunamis, earthquakes, fire and flooding. It is almost completely preventable.
False, natural disasters are happening more often and are more intense, leading people who didn't "encroach on Land" to suffer for it. Just look at the heat in large parts of Asia.
> False. This is a blatant lie as my comment states clearly, I believe the climate is changing. We are exiting an ice age.
I'm sure this felt very clever when you typed it, but you and I both know that I was referring to anthropomorphic climate change, which you are actively denying.
> The solutions promoted by people like yourself, are going to cause greater harm than good because you choose to believe the climate should not change!
Wrong. You know that is not my position, didn't act like you think it is.
Hey, I don't know you at all or your position. I don't assume anything other than the comments you make. You do seem to assume what I believe.
>you and I both know that I was referring to anthropomorphic climate change, which you are actively denying
I'm not denying anything about climate, I'm denying the severity of outcomes you claim. There is a major difference.
You should look into some data about natural disasters.
They cost more now. That's about it. Don't take some news infomercial segment as truth. Go read the statistics.
If someone makes a claim that something is "more severe" because the damage costs more to repair, then that is technically a factual statement. It doesn't further the position that the event was actually more severe than weather in the past.
The slight changes in weather you've experienced will not make your life shorter. You experience some discomfort because you aren't acclimated to warmer temperatures.
I'm claiming that the predictions of doom due to man made climate change are a farce. They are designed to get at you, emotionally.
It has worked.
The return to an ice age, even briefly (such as the Little Ice Age) would be truly catastrophic with today's population.
